1NTR DUCT1 N <br />The City of Ramsey is considering improvements to several parcels known as COR, within the <br />City. This delineation was completed to aid in the design and peiniitting of the project. <br />The project is found in Sections 28, in Township 32 North of Range 25 West. <br />ETLAND DEVLUNEAT1 N METH D L GY <br />The wetland boundaries were delineated and staked in the field in September of 2022 using <br />methods described in the "Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation <br />Manual: Northcentral/Northeast Region (Version 2.0)". Wetlands identified were classified using <br />``Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin, et al., 1979)", <br />"Wetlands of the United States (United States Fish and Wildlife Service Circular No. 39, 1971 <br />edition)" and "Wetland Plants and Plant Communities of Minnesota and Wisconsin" (Eggers and <br />Reed Third Edition). Subsequently, the three mandatory technical criteria for wetland <br />deteiniinations are as follows: <br />Hydrophytic Vegetation. A hydrophytic plant community is present when the dominant plant <br />species present can endure prolonged inundation and/or soil saturation during the growing season. <br />A plant's Wetland Indicator Status is determined using the 2020 National Wetland Plant List for <br />Minnesota, published by the Ally Corp of Engineers. <br />Hydric Soils. A hydric soil is defined as a soil that is foinied under conditions of saturation, <br />flooding or ponding long enough during the growing season (the portion of the year when there is <br />above ground growth and development of vascular plants and/or soil temperature at 12 inches <br />below the soil surface is above 41 degrees Fahrenheit or higher) to develop anaerobic conditions in <br />the upper part. <br />Wetland Hydrology. An area has wetland hydrology if it experiences 14 or more consecutive days <br />of flooding, ponding or a water table within 12 inches of the surface during the growing season at a <br />minimum frequency of five out of ten years. This is deteiniined by using both primary and <br />secondary Wetland Hydrology indicators. <br />Prepared by: Bolton & Menk, Inc. <br />Ramsey COR Wetland Analysis I OR1.128637 <br />INTRODUCTION <br />Page 1 <br />
